Attachments:	10sec sample file which plays too fast with mplayer by default

Description Anssi Hannula 2012-04-19 22:49:27 CEST

MPlayer seems to play the speex audio tracks of some videos too fast.

ffplay plays them correctly.
I can workaround the mplayer issue by switching it to use the ffmpeg implementation instead, by modifying its codecs.conf to use 'driver ffmpeg' and 'dll "libspeex"' for 'audiocodec speex', instead of speex/speex.

Sample file attached, it is an audio-only low-quality 10 second excerpt which demonstrates the issue.

I see that the audio track is missing the speex headers and mplayer/ffmpeg have to guess (?) the speex configuration, but it looks to me like they arrive at the same guess yet still one plays at correct speed, while the other does not... or maybe they assume something else different.

Hmh, actually, just figured out that even ffmpeg doesn't play these files 100% correctly (sorry, I don't have the correct decoded audio for the attached sample)... but it seems to still be better. I'll have to get back to this.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
